History

The following is any history we have regarding the bridge's origins:

�to S. Maria Zobenigo. In the \Campiello behind the church\ St. M. It contained Zobenigo, just the description of the quarter pel 1740, and the \house called Feltrina, required to rent from the town of Feltre, et habitata in custody of Mr.. Elizabeth Severi. \ Of these particular albergherie we talked about elsewhere. See Bressana (Calle etc. .. It seems then that later took on a private operator to conduct the 'House Feltrina \on their own account, as in the Journal Veneto, titled\ New Postiglione, \on April 29, 1786, we read the following notice: \About a year ago has been exposed to the public under a sign of an inn this manifest: - In Venice Accommodation and only true Nobile Inn of the magnificent city of Feltre, transported from the district of S. Maria Zobenigo in Calle del Doge in S. Maurizio. - He opposed to this notice and teaches Mr. Lorenzo Ferri, true and legitimate operator for many years the Inn of Feltrina between the two bridges to St. Mary Zobenigo, and on the 7th of corr. was decided in favor of him the issue. With this judgment is ensured teaches him the ancient Feltrina SM Zobenigo coll'esclusione exposed in the Calle del Doge in St. Maurice, \etc.. above The inn existed precisely in that building archiacuto, then owned by Malipiero, which is found in \Campiello della Feltrina\ at the right hand of those who come from St. Mary Zobenigo, where afterwards lived the famous dialect poet Pietro Barbaro Buratti.Sembra that the desire to allude to the site later called \Campiello della Feltrina 'when speaking of Ugolino Scrovegno, puts it this way: \haveva this Ugolino a house here in Venetia where is the little square between St. Mary and St. Maurice Zobenigo, part of which he bought the Mr. 1367. et paved the way to make yourself more beautiful in ' go to St. Vido. \
